Not sure if it was the update, but my Nexus 5 feels a lot more snappier and responsive. But it can just be confirmation bias.
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
Most users confirm that 5.0.1 is snappier and faster then 5.0, not a placebo ;)

Most of this is all well and good for me, but when it comes to booting into the stock bootloader and running "adb sideload update.zip" I get no devices in adb... not sure why. adb works normally otherwise. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Are you booting into the stock recovery, not the bootloader? If you are then you need to see what the problem is in device manager on your pc.
[Nexus 5 General] agates:
Sorry yes, it's the stock recovery. I don't see why there would be a problem on the device manager when adb works elsewhere.

I'll give it a shot on my linux desktop.
[Nexus 5 General] blakeslee14:
I had the same issue. I had to install the universal naked driver to get it to recognize it in stock recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] agates:
Yep, Linux worked like a charm (as usual). Oh well, I'm happy!
[Nexus 5 General] meethere:
i saw few screenshot where people are showing nexus 5 with 5.0.2 ... is it available and true?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
5.0.2 is in AOSP but there aren't factory images for it yet, and subsequently no OTA.
[Nexus 5 General] meethere:
ok fine, I think it will arrive soon, so not rooting or loading custom recovery/kernel for now -- just updated to 5.0.1 :)

i was on 5.0 with root, custom kernel and recovery

uninstalled supersu- unroot

fastboot flashed boot.img, recovery.img and system.img (system.img also coz ota update was giving error)

sideloaded update.zip from stock recovery

and voila... :)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Faster way to update:

Boot into bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Boot into recovery

Flash SuperSU

Done

No point removing su binaries and flashing factory images just to take an OTA when you can simply flash the new images and reflash SuperSU.
[Nexus 5 General] meethere:
ya you are right..

but i dont want to download new 5.0.2 500+ mb images (coz of my limited data pack) and i already have 5.0 images. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] David Guite:
Do we need to wipe anything? By going in this method??
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
No.
[Nexus 5 General] David Guite:
What about the recovery?? Are we required to flaah recovery.img too??
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
No. You only need the stock recovery for taking OTAs. If you flash a new system.img and boot.img then that's already the update and don't need to bother with the OTA.

Also flash the radio if you want to.
[Nexus 5 General] David Guite:
Is the new radio much better than the previous one?? Or should i just stick with my current one?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Different radios have different results for different people. What works best for you might not be best for me. Use whatever you feel is better for you.
[Nexus 5 General] David Guite:
Hmm... Ok thanks i'll try out both the radio and use whatever is better for me.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
I know this has been discussed so many times, but with so many suggestions I'm confused. If I'm rooted with CF Auto root and no other modifications, what are the files I need to flash for receiving the OTA? I'm on stock recovery and stock kernel.

I am not to able to do this :

14) use volume and power buttons to boot into stock recovery

15) hold down power button (!) when the robot with the red triangle appears and while still holding it press volume+ and release it after 1-2 seconds and the recovery options will appear

Actually from bootloader mode (the previous step) I have chosen with volume + and the option recovery mode and press power to select it and then it stays on red triangle...

Then it boots after a while..

Actually I am not able to reboot directly on red triagle like you describe by pressing + and - and power.. (14) and the remove power and volume - to keep only volume +

Any help?
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
When you see the red triangle just press the power button first and right after that volume up and you`ll see the recovery options.
[Nexus 5 General] zorro3210:
When I see the red triangle, I press Power and I need to keep it pressed when I press volume up and keep both for 1-2 seconds?

strange I can not make it! :(

One more question. I'm currently on stock rom + custom recovery. I can just flash system, boot and radio right?

The Complete Guide for Upgrading 5.0.0→5.0.1 a Stock Rooted Nexus 5

This guide is for anyone who has “only” unlocked and rooted his/her Nexus 5 with Android 5.0.0 stock. Please note that any installation of the SuperSU application is changing some files in your phone’s system. This is why the 5.0.1 OTA is not working.

I am using the “Minimal ADB and Fastboot” that you can learn about here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790, but any Fastboot installation will do.

You should probably use an administrator account on your PC.

Follow these steps:

Download the 5.0.1 Factory Image "hammerhead" for Nexus 5 from here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-lrx22c-factory-0f9eda1b.tgz, and then unzip it.

Edit the flash-all.bat script file and delete the –w in the fastboot update command.

Use winrar (or similar) program to remove the userdata.img file from the image-hammerhead-lrx22c.zip file.

Verify again that you followed the last two steps, as they are critical for saving your data. To be even safer, you may backup your data.

Download the last CF-Auto-Root package from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/363/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.zip. Extract the CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.img file from it, and put it in the …\hammerhead-lrx22c directory that was create when you unzipped the image in step 1.

Close all other programs that run on your PC and close also unnecessary TSRs to make sure you have enough free RAM.

Connect your Nesus 5 to your computer over USB.

Start your Nexus 5 in fastboot mode (Turn the device off, and then turn it on holding down the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power until the device is booted).

Open a terminal and navigate to the unzipped system image directory (…\hammerhead-lrx22c) .

Execute the flash-all script. This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.

After the device has booted it will be running Android 5.0.1 but it is not rooted. To root it put it back in fastboot mode as in step 8.

In the fastboot terminal run the command:

fastboot boot CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.img

Once booted you will be asked to update the SuperSU binaries. Use the regular method to do it. Allow it to reboot again.

Reinstall Busybox.

kernel error

I downloaded the 556 mb of 5.01 lollipop has did the flash from my win 7 with

/under cmd command....every thing was nicely done and no errors. but n5 failed to boot

and stuck at Google logo I could not log into the stock recovery... I did factory oem lock and unlock and again

flashed every thing... bootloader, radio, boot system userdata recovery cache means every thiing...with no error

but still stuck on the google logo..

After this i flashed the TWRP 2700 and recovery part was ok... then I flashed the Loliipop5 boot img and N5 booted well and

than I installed all my apps afresh from playstore.....and it is Ok now.

Problem...

If I flash 501 kernel it again stucks at google logo.. If I flash TWRP other than 2700 means 28xx it again stucks... presently I m using elementalX n5 204 kernel and it working fine.....

Yes, backup everything before you do this. Or flash the img`s seperate and don`t flash userdata.img., this might result in fc`s though.

For some people flashing the ZIP as part of the flash-all.bat doesn't work so you'll need to flash each IMG file individually (extract the ZIP file to get the others)

[Nexus 5 General] funnel71:
The 501 ota is trickier than those you have dealt with in the past. You must be completely stock with no root. What I did was flash the 50 system and recovery images booted into recovery sideloaded the OTA then loaded my custom material back on
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
They both are the same. If you try to apply the 5.0 OTA it also requires total stock or it will fail as well. Only thing that seems to not matter is if it's locked or not.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Agreed, this needs to be updated in the OP. If you scroll a couple of pages, which I did, people will get confused about the exact image files needs to be flashed before applying OTA.

Someone suggested me to flash system and it will work. After doing so I got into a bootloop. :(

Now that I have successfully updated to 5.0.1, I want so that it helps everyone.

Sent from a Nexus 5!
[Nexus 5 General] bijixda:
actually it works with root (but with no other modification)

you just have to flash original recovery, then sideload the update. After that, repeat rooting process
[Nexus 5 General] NCguy:
Agreed because I sideloaded mine to 5.0 and I was rooted. But the root party is over going to 5.1 correct?
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Sorry guys. Was already asleep when y'all posted this last night :/

Section D Step #2. Took me 5 seconds to find it. Not sure how I could make it more obvious. There's a whole section on this :/. But thanks [MENTION=4036181]Darth[/MENTION] :)

[Nexus 5 General] Yousie642:
So I'm on a custom ROM, which means according to the scenario list I should be starting from section D3. It says to flash the KOT49H image, which is 4.4.2, but all of the OTA links in the OP are to update from 4.4.3 or 4.4.4. Is there any reason I can't just flash the 4.4.4 stock image and just do the update from within Android?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Are you on 5.0 now? If so, unroot then flash the system, boot and recovery image from 5.0 factory image with fastboot. Then take the ota
[Nexus 5 General] Yousie642:
I'm on a custom ROM based on one of the L preview builds. I never did anything special when I installed that ROM. I just had a 4.4.4 ROM, wiped system, data, and cache in TWRP and flashed the ROM I have now.

Edit: Build number is LRX21M
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
I don't know what lrx21m is. 21 is 5.0 but the nexus 5 doesn't have an m version

[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Ok, your most likely on the 4.4.4 firmware. Follow the op to upgrade to 5.0 from 4.4.4. You'll need to upgrade to 5.0 before the 5.0.1 update will work. Personally, I'd flash the 5.0.1 factory image. But you'll have to set your device up from scratch. So make sure you've backed up first
[Nexus 5 General] Yousie642:
Ok, so I can actually just follow this tutorial to go from whatever my phone is right now to 5.0.1? I planned to back up everything anyway (internal storage and all)
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Yes follow that tutorial
[Nexus 5 General] gialakias:
Is it necessary to unroot? I think is one step that is not needed if you flash the system.img. Correct me if I am wrong.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
Not enough, best is to flash the complete image including userdata.img imo with TB or Helium and backup to the pc, backup your files first though.

Awesome. Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 5 General] :
I said I was tired!! Lol ?

I was more meaning a mention of CF though. I think it's new to some people and they don't understand what they need to do to undo CF and take an ota. ?

I think the Section - B of the guide requires for my upgrade to OTA 5.0.1.

Why is there three links, with warning (Original, may not flash for most people and full radio)?

Or can I proceed with the android factory images directly, ie LRX22C one.
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
That is a question you should ask in the thread you linked.

But you can always just grab the 5.0.1 and later OTAs from my OP and flash one at a time. Boot once between upgrades.
[Nexus 5 General] CODENEX:
Simple as that! So no need for any adb operations.

Just download the OTA and flash without a wipe!?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
You'll need to sideload it in the stock recovery using adb

[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
You modified or deleted some system files when you were rooted. If you want to take the ota then you should flash the system, boot, and recovery images with fastboot from 5.0. Or you could just flash the system, boot and radio images from 5.0.1 with fastboot and be done with it.
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
[MENTION=5130871]totspurjohn[/MENTION] I've experienced that Fastbooting the 5.0.1 system and boot images without wiping internal and NOT pushing the Data image that erases Internal Storage will cause the SDCard Mount bug. But doing the OTA without a wipe will not.

So in other words if you are going to install the 5.0.1 system and boot images then you better include the data image (wipes Internal) or you will have this infamous bug. Keep in mind this is from my own experience and testing.
